Why would a barb want to max int when str reduces damage (through higher armor) and gives them more DPS?
I'm sure it's them giving a nod to retailers. If the game isn't available to play till midnight, the retailers have a chance to do midnight launches (no matter what time zone).
I couldn't imagine how awful it would be playing the harder difficulties on console.
My prediction is that they remove Inferno and HC mode to prevent suicides of young gamers everywhere.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Yup and if you guys enjoy Kripparrians work then I would recommend you subscribing to his channel since he'll upload a lot of important stuff once the game is out.
Well, it's more about the time approaching it that the thread will explode, not so much after. And the midnight launch happens at 2 AM for me (Central time)
If this is on consoles it will have everything intact, and console players will probably play on the same battle.net as everyone else. Blizzard knows anything less would be worthless.

I think someone said they did the math and there's actually more room for options/customization but i can't find the link anywhere.

And he still won't get world first achievements :lol
May he enjoy his hemroids.
Wait, there are world first achievements? ._.
Bleh, not like I stand a chance at any such achievements anyway >.>.

Because int give resist which is also a armor mod (I think it was said that int gives armor to melee and magic damage reductions while str is just melee. I may have misheard). Dex also gives dodge. I'm rather curious how it will play out in the end with gear specifics.
That doesnt sound healthy
Poopsock, hot pockets, Mtn Dew... what could go wrong?

I'm sure there will be a flood of people have server issues once it launches, unfortunately.

Well people died because of WoW, maybe this guy want to be the record holder for 1st guy to die because of D3
I'd like to have the option to do that. Not that I'd actually try it (...maybe) but I'd love having no responsibilities so I could think about just gaming 5 days straight.
Resists reduce damage from magic; Armor reduces damage period.
I think Kripp has the best idea of get first Inferno clear. Long sessions with a good night sleep, everything else is abusing the system and using superior knowledge to best the masses.
Also I'm excited to see Athene pull of all his claims. I think this will be his biggest challenge yet, as leveling doesn't work in quite the same way as it does in wow.

Knowing about the consequences and actually THINKING it through are two different things.
Someone with a solid head on their shoulders wouldn't do this.

Is the guy at least in good shape?
If nothing else, I'd like the option to have been a part of these shots at world first or something. Guess it's just my memories of enjoying those runs years ago.
He's a gamer... so I imagine not.
There's only one undercore enough MOFO I know who could do a 5 day binge and live, but even Yoshi is not immune to hemroids.
I'm thinking Athene will have lots of people giving him gear as well as buying as much gear as possible. I'm also wondering if he will find a way to exploit experience gains. I know he is definitely looking as he doesn't care about how he gets there, he just wants to get there first.
Not joking around here guys, but I need to share this.
I rested my class decision on the almighty d10 that I had ever since...well, around 2000, 2001. 1-2 B, 3-4 DH, 5-6 M, 7-8 Wit, 9-0 Wiz.
Threw the dice, knowing that I will be a wizard anyway.
The result: 0.
Then, for the fun of it, threw the dice one more time.
The result: again, a 0.
Two throws. There are no clearer ways at this moment for me to recognize that I will have the most fun with Wizard. So that is about it

World first 60? Absolutely. World first inferno clear AND world first lvl60 HC though? No chance in living hell. Kripparrian and his team has no intentions on becoming world first 60.
I have a feeling he will be the "Epicnamebro" of the Diablo III universe.
He set 3 world first goals that he would do in succession.
First lvl 60
First Inferno Clear
First HC Inferno Clear
Unlike WoW where levels from 70-80 or 80-85, he is going 1-60.
Then he has to clear Inferno, which for all we know is near impossible and might take weeks.
Then he has to do that on HC. That means he needs to play the game 8 times through, over a really long period of time.
Like damn, he has one hell of a journey ahead of him.

Ah good, come theory craft with use on builds
Is there any way to verify world firsts in this game, or are these people just out to make a claim that no one can verify? Some random guy could go without sleep and be first to 60, and no one would ever know about it if he didn't brag all over the internet, unless there is some way to verify it.
Well, you can't actively choose what to put points into, so it's not a huge deal. If you hit a STR wall where each additional STR isn't that much additional damage reduction, I guess you could get some INT gear for a quick and dirty boost. In the long run the good barb gear isn't likely to have any +Int at all though.

I think hemroids will be the slightest of problems if you're playing for 5 days straight.

Your GAF profile page is great. :lol
But is switching to INT worth not getting the +1% Damage per STR?!
Honestly, I'd say you're looking at DR to plateau and accepting that; look to min/maxing damage output and resistances within that DR limitation rather than finding ways to squeeze out more DR.
True. I guess I should've said Resists reduce damage from their type.

Yeah, those two put up really detailed videos on Youtube :3
And I'm willing to bet anything that he's not gonna be able to achieve all three goals. Athene is scared this time-around because he knows this isn't WoW anymore.
This is where you are wrong.
